Small Beginnings.

Great results frequently spring from
small and even insignificant beginnings.
y :iny spark may B;udle q vast fire.
That powerful oak which stands Ike
pIissant monarch in the forest was orcs
an acorn dropped perhaps 10y d sacred
pigeon. The mighty Mississippi river,
sweeping so majesticaHy onward to the
gulf Of Mexico, is but a little crystal
rill at its source, oozing out Of a few
rocks on hillside. A solitary fort to
repeI the attacks of the savage abori-
gines, first marked the site where
commercial emporium, a city OF wealth
and fashion, now raises its white wash
ed walls.
One little word Did you ever esu-
mate its power for good or evll2 It
has been productive of a lifelong
misery or perhaps it has laid the cor
nerstone of a lifetime of happiness.
One word may have severed the strong
est ties of friendship, or else counted
heart-cords in the most uudyiDg
affection.
Even a wink or smile, a significant
look or a meaning gesture of the hand,
has been signal of life OF death TO
many an individual.
In like manner, the moral character,
a life Of happiness and usefulness, or an
existence Of darkest misery and woe to
multitudes OF men and women, has been
the results of good or evil INDUCED IN.
Many hundreds Of unfortunate people
have looked back from the depths of
shame and degradation at the one
little act or deviation from tie right
which paved the way TO ruin OF down
fall. As they had sown, so they were
obliged to reap.
Keep an eye on the small begin
nings.

The Alps.

/ One cannot command the language
+ to convey an adequate idea of this mag
rIdcence. You are standing far below,
gazing up to where the great disc Of the
giIttering Alps cuts the heavens, and
drinking in the influence of the silent
scene around. Suddenly an enormous
mass of STOW and ice, in itself a noun
tain, seems to move ; il breaks from
the toppling outmOsU mountain ridge
of snow. where it is hundreds of feet in
depth, and in its first fail, of perhaps
2OO0 feet, is broken into millions of
fragments. As you first see the flash of
distant artillery by night, then hear the
roar, so here you may see the white
flashing mass majesticalIy bowing, and
hear the astounding din. 4 cloud of
from the cOncussion, forming a white
volume of fleecy smoke, or mist light,
from the bosom of which thunders forth
the ice torrent in its second prOdigious
fall over the rocky battlements. The
eye follows it delighted, as it ploughs
through the path which preceding ava
lanches have worn, till it comes t } the
brink of a vast ridge of bare rock. per
haps more than 2OOO feet perpendicular.
Then flows the whole cataract over the
gulf with still louder thunder. An
other fall of still greater depth ensues,
over second similar castellated ridge
or reef in the face of the mountain, with
an awful majestic slowness, and a tre-
mendous crash in its conclusion, awak-
ening again the reverberating peaIs of
thunder. Then the torrent roars on to
another similar fall, till at length it
reaches mighty groove of snow and
ice, like the slide down the Pilatus, of
which Playfair has given so powerfully
and graphic description. Here its pro-
gress is slower, and last of all you listen
TO sthe roar Of the falling fragment
as they drop out of sight, with dead
weight, into the bottom of the gulf, to
rest there forever.

4 Plague OF Wild Cats.

1t is hard to please everybody. In
some parts of the world rabbits are
looked on as pests, and now there comes
a cry from South Africa that If the
wild cats are not put down soon there
will be rot rabbit left in Robben Is
land. a big black cat was traced to its
den, and though its hunters could not
catch it, they found proofs of its indus
try and destructiyeness in the innumer-
able skins and tails of baby rabbits
with which its lair was Uttered. The
spot was cleared out and visited next
day, when thirteen wee bunnies were
found, only recently killed.

4 Partial Success.

There is a woman living down How
ard street who reads the newspapers
She read IN a newspaper the other day
that Boston woman cured her husband
OF running out nights by making him
jealous. The idea was a good one She
let her sister into the plot, and the SIS
ter's husband might have been seen
sneaking into and ont Of the house at a
late evening hour. Some of the neigh
bOrs got hold of II, and some one wrote
TO the husbsnd
Beware As friend I would ad-
wise you to watch your wife -
His wife saw the tud of suspicion in
his eye, and was hugely pleased. She
told her sister, and there vas a great
cacklIng- Sister told her husband. and
he slapped his leg and exclaimed
'Ha. ha ha, We've got him on the
run -
The other night the Howard street
man went out as usual. TIE brother
in-law disguised himself and went over
TO the house, taking care to be seen.
He was just mounting the steps when a
hOrsewhip began TO play over and around
him, and as he started to run he was
knocked down and stepped on and walk
ed over until he scarcely had the
strength left TO climb out os the yard in
front of No. @ boot. The injured hus-
band then entered the house and broke
up 500 worth of furniture, and destroy
ed jewelry and dresses costing as much
more. His wife had to explain the plot
IN order 10 save her life, but that didn't
restore the goods nor heal the brother
in-law's bruises.
1t IS very quiet down there now.
The husband goes out o'nights as usual.
and the Boston idea has been coated
with tar and buried in The back yard
until wanted.

SOLDIERS DEPOSITS.
The Interest Decision Of Second Audi
tor Day Oyerruled.

The Interest Decision Of Second Audi
tor Day Oyerruled.
Second Comptroller Butler has given an
interesting opinion in regard to the pay
ment Of interest on soldiers deposits under
the provisions Of section 1906, Revised
Statutes, and the act Of March 8, 1888
Some time ago Second Auditor Day wrote a
letter to the paymaster general on this sub.
ject in which he stated that the accounting
officers construed the laws as allowing In
terest on sums less than $50 and not less
than S. only from the date OF the passage
OF the act Of March 3, 1888. The second
comptroller takes exception to this con-
struction, and overrules the second audi
tor.
The comptroller says that, In his iudg-
ment, the act OF March 8, 1883, was
retrospective as to all soldier depositors at
that time In the service with whom, upon
their death or discharge, settlement would
have been made. "Revised Statutes, 1905,
established a system Of deposit for enlisted
men. Revised Statutes, 1905, stated the
mode Of calculation Of Interest. The
amendment Of March 8, 1888, simply re-
vised that mode Of calculation as to all
soldiers who, at the time OF the passage Of
the amendment, were, depositors, or who
might subsequently become deposltors.
And In the future this rule will be followed

With good many people the impression
prevails that Douglass Brothers, at the

OF exclusive business--that Is to say, they
cater for only one class OF trade, charge
high prices, and handle only the incest
